And that is the talk of the video game internet this week because there was a surprise dropped Nintendo Direct, which is rare on Wednesday, where we learned, really confirmed because it uncharacteristically had already leaked that there was going to be a Fox McCloud game.

And we saw it.

We saw it in action and we know what it is.

It is a remake of Star Fox 64.

What did you think of the announcement and the internet?

I was initially, and then the more I saw of it, the lower and lower my enthusiasm got.

A couple reasons.

First, I was hoping there might be a brand new Star Fox game, just because this game, it's already been remade once, and it's just this...

franchise has been so stagnant.

There just hasn't really been a new Star Fox game or a good new Star Fox game, at least a combat game, flight combat.

And so I hoped when I saw the leaks, we might get something brand new.

And believe me, I love me some Star Fox 64 and Star

I'm all for 4K Star Fox 64, but a little less excited than I would have been for an all new adventure.

And then also there was a little bit of original Sonic in the trailer when I saw these characters, because somehow they just sort of subtracted all the aura that Star Fox of the film has.

Yeah.

And I don't know about these new sort of photorealistic Star Fox designs.

It's this doesn't even make any sense because Star Fox is a fur covered creature.

And yet somehow he has a neck beard in this new model.

It's like they just removed all the Riz from the Glenn Powell wisecracking fox that we just saw.

Yeah, we haven't potted it in a while.
